Understanding the UGU Water Crisis with Professor Anthony Turton
Professor Anthony Turton
Understanding the UGU Water Crisis with Professor Anthony Turton: In my professional opinion, Ugu is on the brink of systemic collapse. The issue is complex. At present, we are receiving only 16% Service Delivery. I have been monitoring daily now for some months and have enough data to do analytics on. That 16% means that for 16 days out of 100 we receive water at the required pressure. This is an important distinction to make, because about 50% of the time we do have some water, but pressure is too low to enable delivery across a topography characterised by undulating terrain. For about 25% of the time we have no water at all. This is likely to be representative of most of the Ugu area of supply, but it will vary depending on sub-system architecture.
What is evident from the data I have captured, is that as soon as system pressure goes above 3 Bar, we can anticipate failure shortly thereafter. This pattern is now evident in the data and the more I capture, the stronger that signal is likely to be.
This being the case, it speaks to a degraded infrastructure with two possible reasons for this regular oscillation between total system crash and subsequent recovery.
Reason A is that the system is now so broken, that we have multiple points of failure, so it’s simply unable to be pressurised to anything beyond 3 Bar (as measured from my point of data capture, which is 50 metres above the pipeline at Batstone Drift). That would translate to 8 bar at Batstone.
Reason B is that deliberate sabotage is taking place, probably organised by a syndicate connected to the tender process for the procurement of tanker delivery services. This needs to be fully investigated and is beyond my capacity as an individual, but it is consistent with what is known to be happening in different jurisdictions. For example, we know of a criminal syndicate sabotaging infrastructure in a different province, and we know that this is a multi million Rand business. We also know from forensic work that has been conducted in a major metro, that the capture of the supply chain in a water service provider, has been ongoing since 2001. We can safely conclude that criminal syndicates are nested into different parts of the procurement process, in different municipalities, all harvesting revenues from degraded infrastructure.
Both these reasons are serious, demanding a precise investigation by a competent and credible authority. Unless we do this, we will continue to experience systemic failure to the point where commercial activities will cease to be viable.
I therefore place this information out there, urging a Chamber of Commerce to take this matter up as a matter of priority.
Sardines making a BIG comeback! In a magnificent late charge, the sardines are putting on a spectacular closing show right now!
Today
9am
This very morning sardines were netted right at the slipway in Shelley Beach. How convenient!
We will update again as the news comes in.
Yesterday
Yesterday, they were netted at Amazimtoti, near Durban. And down south, Banana Beach and Pumula were paid visits. And the beautiful ocean off Durban was peppered with baitballs. To the horizon. At one point, 20 were easily counted out there. All at once! Thanks to the Master Watermen website for the information and pics.
Tomorrow
The whole of today, and from tomorrow, these sardines could surprise you wherever you might be along the SKZN shoreline. How long they stick around further is anyone’s guess. We have reported on sardines making it all the way to November before. And sometimes they stick to the coast and even swim up the Zululand waters.
Hotspots
Rocky Bay at Park Rynie is a favourite stopover for sardines. With Pennington and Scotties right close by, to back your play. And a quick scoot north gets you in the Amaznimtoti and Wanrer Beach sardine traps.
Down south, starting at Port Edward is always a great idea. Making your way back up north, as you collect intel as to the shoals’ whereabouts.
If it’s fish you are after, check out the Umzimkulu Marina, and Umzimkulu Adrenalin – right in the middle of all the action. And to kit yourself out for the type of fish that are around right now, MYDO Fishing Lures has the solution for you.

Sharks and Sound at Port St Johns Second Beach: Second beach in Port St. John’s on the East Coast of South Africa has gained a reputation as being one of the world’s most notorious for shark attacks. Most of which are caused by bull sharks. In the last 14 years alone, these sea predators have claimed the lives of eight people. Wikipedia records a total of 109 people having been killed by sharks in South African waters since records started being kept in 1852 ending at the beginning of 2018, a period of 165 years, or an average of 1.51 people having been killed annually.
I am not writing this article in an attempt to provide a reason as to why all these attacks and resultant deaths occurred in different times and places around the country. But rather to provide a possible answer to the sudden spike of shark-related deaths at Second Beach a few years back. A beautiful beach just south of the town of Port St Johns on the Wild Coast of South Africa.
The first recorded shark attacks and death that occurred in the Umzimvubu river near Port St Johns and Second Beach were those of Zangile a young local man in 1887, followed in 1895 by a man named Sombutize.
The Umzimvubu River mouth as it looks today. Second Beach is just around that headland.
There is a gap of almost 110 years between the time when Sombutize was taken in 1895 and Sibulele Masiza being attacked and killed in Jan. 2007, and this is seriously puzzling as throughout this period Port St Johns, the only seaside town on the Wild Coast, remained a very popular tourist destination with thousands of people flocking there throughout the year. With Second Beach crowded with bathers and surfers, and during this period there were no shark attacks.
Port St Johns Second Beach was considered safe from sharks for over 100 years. Until 2009…
As tragic as this incident was, given the 110-year interval from the last recorded attack, it became accepted as an isolated incident and so beach usage continued as normal, with no further shark-related incidents.
And then 2009 happened, and at the beginning of that year Sikhanyiso Bangiliswe was attacked and killed in January followed by Luyolo Mangaliso in March and Bayuyile Dayimane being killed in March.
A further two years passed with no attacks, and then two occurred in 2011, the first in January with Zama Ndamase being killed in January and Tshintshekile Ndova being killed in December, with Lungisani Msungubani being killed weeks later in January 2012.
Further attacks then occurred annually with Fundile Nodumla becoming the only survivor of a shark attack in March 2013 after having been bitten on both arms
Liya Sibili was killed in December 2013, with Freidrich Burgstaller being killed in March 2014.
This sudden and alarming upsurge in shark attacks played havoc in the tourism industry and also attracted international attention resulting in Second Beach becoming labelled as the most dangerous beach in the world. This is an unfair label given the location with the most recorded shark attacks is New Smyrna beach, Florida.
Being concerned for the safety of bathers, The Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism and the OR Tambo District Municipality appointed the Natal Sharks Board team of experts to investigate possible causes of such attacks.
Their report considered factors or events presumed to be conducive to shark attacks and provided a number of recommendations to reduce the chances of them occurring again. Factors highlighted by them as being conducive to shark attacks include the proximity of the beach to the Umzimvubu River, a well-known nursery ground for Zambezi sharks. Newborn and juvenile Zambezi sharks have been captured in the river.
Another factor said to require careful investigation is the possible attraction of sharks through the disposal of blood and entrails from the ritual slaughtering of animals on this beach. Both Zambezi and tiger sharks are notorious scavengers and supposed would be attracted to this beach by the smell of blood and other animal remains. I personally dispute this as no large animals, with the possibility of the occasional sheep or goat, are slaughtered during these, and in any event, all parts of the animal are consumed with the exception of the bones which are burnt.
The possible result of sewerage entering the river or the sea is not likely to be a significant factor.
A shark monitoring program was initiated and is ongoing with radio transponders being implanted in sharks that had been caught and released, their transmissions, in turn, being recorded in monitors placed on the sea and river bed.
Angling records spanning from 1968 till 2007 were made available by Tony Oates, a longtime local angler who specialized in capturing sharks from the Gap, a rocky ledge bordering onto Second Beach. These records attest to the continuous presence of shark in the bay housing Second Beach.
The presence and volume of sharks along this coastline is well recorded and further vouched for by the off-shore scuba divers who flock to the Wild Coast annually to participate in diving during the annual sardine run. Visual evidence also abounds in the underwater documentaries that have been aired worldwide by producers such as National Geographic, Discovery Chanel, to name but two.
We can therefore take it for granted that the sharks have always been there. And have co-existed alongside the bathers and surfers without attacking them. So what has caused or triggered this change in their behaviour?
The land and sea conditions in and around Port St Johns have not changed to any degree over the years, and neither has an infrastructure or commercial enterprise been created that could cause pollution, so that can be ruled out. Looking at the dates on which the attacks occurred a pattern emerges, and that is that they all fall into the time of holiday seasons when the beaches are crowded, but then they were crowded like that in the years before, the difference being the volume of motor vehicles that park along the beachfront and shoreline are now more prolific, as is the volume of rhythmic sub-sonic sound generated by numerous taxies and other motor vehicles all playing loud music through their heavily amplified sound system.
I must make it clear that its not the number of vehicles that causes the problem, but rather the sound that is being generated and transmitted.
Sub-sonic sound transmits easily through seemingly solid items such as motor-car tyres and soils and water to make its presence felt in the surrounding ocean, and as water is denser than air, with greater elasticity, sound travels farther underwater than it does on land – in fact it travels about four times faster in water than through air, with sound waves of frequencies below 500 hertz traveling thousands of miles through the ocean without diminishing greatly in energy.
The overall consensus of all the studies is that sharks can detect and react to low frequency hydrodynamic sounds, using these to their advantage.
Googling detection of subsonic sounds by sharks produces numerous results such as the paper written by AA Myrburg, detailing the effects of subsonic sound on sharks, and published by the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science in 1979.
The Acoustic World of Sharks – Pure API – The University of … api.research-repository.uwa.edu.au › files › THESIS_DO… PDF. Differences in the reactions of sharks towards sounds are consistent with the differences in inner ear … unlikely these studies represent a comprehensive analysis of sound detection in sharks. … Acoustic Signals in the Near-Subsonic Range. by L Chapuis · Cited by 4 ·
A more detailed article on the varying behaviour of sharks and their reaction to subsonic sound appeared in Nature the groundbreaking Global Science Research Magazine.
The article also highlights that the broadcast sound of Orca calls tends to scare certain species of sharks causing them to leave the locality, and in addition lists numerous studies done by various persons in this field.
The following article written by Josh Clark and published in How Stuff Works (and mildly edited for brevity), gives a simple yet excellent overview of the effect of subsonic sounds on sharks as also their reaction to these.
A yummy Hum ——- a low-frequency sound that lets sharks know their order’s up — is based on the fact that sharks pick up on plenty of infrasonic noises (ones too low for us to hear) and use them to their advantage. It’s possible because lots of oceanic sounds operate at this level. Dying fish, for example, emit infra-sounds as they flop around in the water, so needless to say it’s a noise to which sharks are reportedly attracted: Once they hear the yummy hum, it’s dinner time. Homing in on this yummy hum helps them to locate an injured fish — guaranteed weak prey.
But don’t get confused. Sharks don’t go crazy for actual humming. They prefer rapid pulsing sounds as opposed to steady continuous hums. Specifically, studies of sharks have shown that they respond most to low-frequency pulsing sounds, including those well below the threshold of human hearing.
The first test to demonstrate this was conducted by shark researchers from the University of Miami in 1963. The researchers found that sharks didn’t respond to low-frequency continuous sounds or any kind of high-frequency sounds [source: Nelson and Gruber]. Later tests determined that sharks hear frequencies ranging between approximately 10 and 800 hertz [source: Shark Trust]. (Humans, by contrast, hear frequencies between about 20 and 20,000 hertz [source: Britannica].)
Sound behaves differently underwater than it does traveling through the air. Water is denser than air, but because of its greater elasticity, sound travels farther underwater than it does on land — and it travels about four times faster in water than through air [source: FAS]. What’s more, sound waves of low frequencies below 500 hertz can travel thousands of miles through the ocean without losing much steam [source: McGraw-Hill].
So sharks have adapted to tuning in on low-frequency pulsing sounds. But how do they hear? Unlike humans, who have a pair of inner, middle and outer ears, sharks have only inner ears. Each ear consists of three D-shaped, fluid-filled canals that allow the shark to orient and balance itself (like your inner ears do), and tiny hair-like structures that sense the vibrations of sound waves [source: ReefQuest].
Sound is simply a wave of energy that causes air particles to vibrate rapidly (at high frequency) or slowly (low frequency). And sharks have developed another means — called the lateral line — to sense low-frequency sound vibrations. Lateral lines are a series of fluid-filled tubes that crisscross the shark’s body just beneath the surface of its skin [source: Shark Trust]. These tubes detect faint changes in pressure, including those made by the vibrations of sound waves.
The lateral lines and inner ears of the shark are used to locate prey, including injured fish as far away as around 800 feet (roughly 250 m) [source: Sea World]. Studies have shown that the flapping sounds injured fish make attract sharks. Sharks have been observed to respond to audio recordings of flapping fish broadcast underwater [source: Shark Trust]. and considering they have only an inner ear to work with sharks detection abilities are astute
In Australia in the first test, reefs with sound collected 325 fish, compared with 108 in silent reefs. A second experiment had high-frequency noise, low-frequency noise and silent reefs. Reefs with high-frequency sounds attracted 1,118 fish, the low-frequency reefs 1,171 and the silent reefs 657.
The researchers say their finding raises the possibility there may be damaging effects from human-caused noise, such as that from shipping and drilling. In addition, however, the discovery may show fishery managers a new way to attract fish to restock depleted areas.
At ordinary sound pressure levels (SPL), most humans can hear down to about 20 Hz.[1] Woofers are generally used to cover the lowest octaves of a loudspeaker’s frequency range. In two-way loudspeaker systems, the drivers handling the lower frequencies are also obliged to cover a substantial part of the midrange, often as high as 2000 to 5000 Hz; such drivers are commonly termed mid woofers. Since the 1990s, a type of woofer (termed subwoofer), which is designed for very low frequencies only, has come to be commonly used in home theatre and PA systems to augment the bass response; they usually handle the very lowest two or three octaves (i.e., from as low as 20 to perhaps 80 or 120 Hz).
Australian Geographic published the following during 2011
Great white sharks attracted by AC/DC hits
BY ANGELA CASE |JUNE 02, 2011 A shark cage tour operator has found that great white sharks are attracted to music by Aussie band AC/DC.
SHARKS ENTHUSIASTS HAVE USED fish guts to attract great white sharks for years, but it seems the fearsome creatures may be attracted to something more pleasing to their ears: music from Australian rock band AC/DC.
Matt Waller, a tour operator in South Australia’s Neptune Bay, has observed that when sharks hear the band’s hits, especially Shook Me All Night Long and Back in Black, they are drawn to the source of the music.
Matt’s research was inspired by dive operators on Guadalupe Island, who discovered playing music underwater for clients also caused changes in shark behaviour. He and his company, Adventure Bay Charters, decided to do some experimenting of their own.
Using underwater speakers attached to diving cages, they pumped Australian rock hits through the water. Most of Matt’s tunes had no effect, but when the great whites heard the AC/DC songs, they swam up and rubbed their faces against the source of the music.
Sharks react to music Matt acknowledges he is no expert on the minds of sharks and doesn’t know exactly why they find the ’80s rock band’s music so appealing.
“Sharks don’t have ears, they don’t have long hair, and they don’t head bang past the cage doing the air guitar,” he told Australian Geographic.
The sharks are probably drawn to the low frequencies found in AC/DC’s music, and Matt wants to test out this theory. “Once we’ve got a range of songs, we can electronically identify a common characteristic between those songs,” he says.
Led Zeppelin is next on Matt’s playlist, but his children are convinced that the sharks will be fans of the White Stripes and Wolfmother.
Matt’s findings could help cage-diving operations become more environmentally sustainable by reducing the amount of berley used on tours. He says Adventure Bay Charters is currently the only company in the world that uses music, not bait, to attract sharks, but predicts other operators will soon follow his lead.
The above leaves little doubt as to the attractive effect that certain sounds have on sharks and their behaviour, but to date the deterrent effect of sounds is only recently begun to be studied.
This will prove to be highly complex as attention would have to be given to a sound that would repulse sharks only without disturbing all marine creatures, and if this could be determined it would become an effective shark barrier for areas now relying on nets and drumlines.

Bazaruto Baby Black Marlin – for the fly-fisher in you
Bazaruto Baby Black Marlin
Bazaruto Baby Black Marlin plentiful: These Bazaruto guys have too much fun! Aside from the huge grander class fish that everyone is actually up at Bazaruto for in the first place, they got these tiny ones (rats), to warm up with.
Cute hey? A Bazaruto Baby Black marlin in a tantrum recently
Each season starts like that. First, these tiny fish pitch up. They swim in the same waters and conditions as the sailfish do around here. Then as the season unfolds, the catches start getting bigger. And bigger…
By the time it’s September, we shall start seeing some of the diabolically good footage that Captain Duarte Rato gets each year. Of these big momma fish. That frequent the continental shelf, presumably to hook up and do some breeding.
Bigger,,,
These big fish are just about always accompanied by a dozen or so suitors. Each vying for attention. And picking up on the scraps left by the big girl. These males don’t get over the grander mark. But they can put up a real staunch argument. Even on 80lb tackle.
But those big mommas, they go over the 1000lb mark for sure. Right on up to the 2000lb mark if you are not careful. Even the big 130s can be no match for fish this big. And this powerful. Fights go into the night sometimes!
Bigger…
All these fish are released. Where possible. Duarte and his team are the biggest billfish taggers in Africa by a very long mile. And! Duarte has been awarded a few satellite tags. One went in a medium fish a short while back. And now Duarte is focusing on satellite tagging a big momma. Mean objective pal!

If marlin fishing is your gig, this is the time it all happens. September through November each season. In fact, Duarte signs off in December. For family time!

Catching Queen Mackerel at Margaruque Island: winter fishing up in the Bazaruto Archipelago can be challenging. The outside can go real quiet some days. The water gets right down to 23 or less. And even sometimes goes green.
Luckily there are always the inside channels. Between and around the islands. That you happily fish. In calm and clear waters.
Shallows
These shallow waters play host to all sorts of game fish to get tangled with. These fish are eager to jump on any well-fished lure. You can make up a quick spread of surface feather-type lures. And troll them around at a medium-fast speed. Maybe even some swimming-type hard lures too. MYDO Stripbatswimmers are purpose-designed for this type of fishing.
But…
It’s your 20 or 30-lb braid-laden spinning outfit that you will want in your hands at all times (or your fly rod). That you sight-cast to feeding fish. That you can see in the flat sea conditions of the channels, right across the sheltered water.
Queen Mackerel
These beautiful gamefish love the shallows. In fact, you will never find them much deeper than 10 meters. Along the backline is their hunting ground. And when there are no waves like here on the inside of the islands, they come right in. To find a shoal of these guys in 2 or 3 meters of water, on the boil, is heaven on water.
Chuck a tiny little spoon at them, and retrieve it fast. Watch the explosions. When they feed like this, you can catch one after the other. They release well too – swimming away no problem, fish after fish.
Don’t forget to keep one for the pan. Best tasting gamefish out there! Fried in an egg batter, this stuff is tender, moist, and unforgettably delicious. Mix the crushed garlic and herbs in the batter for best results. Cook very lightly.
Catch n Cook series: Queen Mackerel Natal Snoek are deliciousThe Mydo SS Snoek Spoon in 4.6mm went the distance every time. Queen mackerel love themVery good Snoek SpoonCallum Saayman and his umpteenth Natal SnoekSoooo much fun! In the channel just north off Margaruque Island and the Snoek are wild. We caught so many we had to just stop!
King Mackerel
Yip, right in the shallows too. Most of the really big guys taken are caught or shot, right in the backline anyway.
Margaruque has a lovely beach and chilling spot on its north point, just in from the GT stone…on quiet days, we can drop off the girls and kids, to snorkel and swim…whilst we head out to the deep.
Whilst the show was being unloaded from the boat, I started rigging up for the deep. On each of the outriggers, on the bottom clip, I rigged two surface swimming baits. These are Mydo Baitswimmer #1’s with a duster on top. Underneath the skirt all dressed up in trebles, on one one side – a halfbeak. And the other side, a long juicy, shiny fillet of skipjack bonito.
This is actually the scene of the time where and when this little story took place on Margaruque Island.
So these things are dangling in the water with the line running through the clip, no elastic needed. WIth all the extra passengers off the boat now, we push off the beach and into the channel. I let the bait in front of me out – the halfbeak, whilst I could still see the bottom. The bait sank to the sand as I free-spooled…when it was barely 8 meters behind the boat I engaged the drag and turned to set the other one.
The reel screamed! Right there in the shallow water. Perplexed I gave the rod to the client, thinking GT since this fish was melting line off the reel as it charged towards the washing machine (a long line of breakers on the outside of the islands). We gave chase and soon in the crystal clear waters of the deeper part of the channel, we pulled up a king mackerel of 15 or so kgs.
GTs
Can be a big problem in close around the islands. They get HUGE. Angry. And they know their stuff. Your 20 to 30lb outfit should just be put away. Anytime you go near the GT stones. You are gonna need a Stella-type outfit for these beasts. With 80lb braid at least. A monstrous leader system. And huge hooks.
All of this backed up by a fit angler, fishing with GT drag. Even at 50kgs in size, you just cannot let these fish go up and over the reef. So the reels are set at GT drag setting. Wind the drag tighter and tighter until you can do so no more. That’s GT drag.
The violence of the explosion lets you know straight away what you are in for. The boat is positioned tail towards the rock. The current drifts us past it. One or maximum two anglers can throw their huge lures towards the rock. One or two pumps, and if the shoal is there, the fish will find you in no time.
The second the fish hits, the boat engages forward gear, and pulls away from the stone – with enough power to turn that huge but surprised fish’s head away from the cliff face of braid-cutting reef. And into the deep channel. About 200 meters away is another obstacle – a shallow sandbank. Now you and the fish are trapped in an immense tug-of-war in this little hole in the ocean.
Good luck!
A quick note on GT drag and the dangers it can present. I was aboard Reflection, skippered by Dean, one very fine day out at sea. We started at the GT stone nice and early but luckily missed the shoal that morning. And so we continued on our way south, to another extremely dangerous place. San Sebastian. Where monsters swim. All types and sizes.
We were kind of just looking around on the 3D. Dean was midship. I was standing in the marlin loading bay between the motors at the back. There is nothing there…just a ramp out to the ocean. Very interesting setup. Dean drops his big old plastic down to the bottom for fun. Starts his erratic retrieve. One of the guests is looking out of the front, and exclaims – “big fish coming in!”.
Dean at that stage has his lure coming up fast, and this is what was going on. The tourist saw the couta coming screaming in. It had honed in on Dean plastic. He shouted. Dean buckled. GT drag remember! He forgot to back it off for the deep. The couta had smacked that lure at full speed and the 80lb braid held on tight. So did Dean! The fish whipped him down the gunwale and if I wasn’t standing in the marlin loading bay, he would have gone straight out the door!
Unfortunately, this was San Sebastian, and this is what happened next…
Deans huge couta sharked
Sailfish
Unbelievably, right in these channels, you can quite easily bump into a sail. Or a baby black, in these self-same shallow waters. You can literally target these smaller billfish, by fishing really shallow.
Queenfish
There are two types of queenfish to target in the shallows around the islands. Let’s start with the highly sought-after Talang queenfish. You can find these guys hanging around Paradise Island most often. You will find them in other places, but Paradise is really their home around here. I am not going to tell anyone exactly where either. You go find your very own Talang to add to your species list.
A beautiful Talang Queenfish from the waters near Paradise Island. Released.
The other queenfish gets a whole lot bigger. And meaner. These fish jump and cartwheel all over the place. Wannabe billfish, all they need to learn is to tailwalk. You might want to tackle up if these guys come into the scene.
This queenfish was actually caught off Durban by Lionel Crow and Adam Kamdar, last month or so…
Other suspects
Include the plentiful bonito species. So many more kingfish species it’s hard to count. Wolf herring. Milkfish. Bonefish. All love to hang out shallow and terrorise the many bait balls of karapauw around the place.
In closing…all this action does not go unnoticed by the locals. I was sitting at the Landrey house on Benguerra Island, in the late afternoon. I had my chef with me, we were trying to get signal to communicate out to the mainland. With the two of us staring out over the water to Vilankulos – in the bright afternoon glare, a huge shark took to the air from out of the channel in front of us. It was a good kilometre away. And I doubt that these big animals would come too close into the shallows around the islands. But I saw him. In full hunting mode, right on the inside of Benguerra.
Another big bonus is that nobody gets seasick in these flat and calm places. And if they do feel a bit iffy, they can simply be dropped off on the nearest island. To be retrieved later.
We have organised many options for you to experience this light-tackle paradise with. From a liveaboard catamaran that sleeps 6 to 8, and has a tender, plus a marlin boat. To small purpose-built channel runners fully equipped for this light tackle genre. And everything in between.
Including a dhow mission if you like sailing!
